"Miss Jamaica sustained an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other serious injuries, pageant officials revealed Monday. The beauty queen, 28-year-old Dr. Gabrielle Henry, fell during a preliminary evening gown competition on Nov. 19 in Bangkok, Thailand. She was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several days after the incident. According to a statement issued by the Miss Universe Organization, Miss Jamaica remains in critical condition under 24-hour supervision."
"With her recovery reportedly going well, she is expected to return to her home country of Jamaica, accompanied by a full medical escort team in the coming days. Henry will be transferred directly to [the] hospital for continued treatment and recovery, the organization and Henry's family said in a joint press release. The Miss Universe Organization also announced that it has covered all hospital, medical and rehabilitation expenses in Thailand, as well as the accommodation and living costs for her family members."
"The Henry family is deeply grateful to the Miss Universe Organization for their unwavering compassion, presence, and love shown, the release said. Their response so far has gone beyond professional responsibility and reflected devotion and protection of the family. The Kingston-born ophthalmologist was walking in high heels and a long, flowing orange dress when she continued off the platform, apparently unaware of where it ended, according to clips shared on social media."
